Title: Enterprise Events Account Executive - Sports Transportation
Reports to: Vice President of Sales, Events

About the Role
Sporting Events represents one of CharterUP’s largest untapped growth opportunities within Enterprise Events.

This role will focus on generating new business within mid-market and enterprise sporting events including tournaments, races, collegiate athletics, recurring annual events, and large-scale fan experiences.
This is not a transactional sales role. Success requires the ability to prospect into complex organizations, navigate long sales cycles, and build trusted relationships over time. The ideal candidate is a proactive enterprise seller who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys building markets from scratch, and understands how to create momentum within relationship-driven industries.
You do not need prior charter transportation experience to succeed in this role. We are looking for strong enterprise sales talent with relevant vertical exposure, strong prospecting capability, and the ability to learn quickly.

- Build trusted advisor relationships with customers and event stakeholders
- Position CharterUP as a strategic transportation partner within the sporting events ecosystem
Contribute to Go-to-Market Strategy

What You’ll Bring

- Experience selling into sporting events, hospitality, event services, event operations, sports partnerships, logistics, or related industries
- Proven ability to prospect and build pipeline independently
- Experience managing long, relationship-driven sales cycles
- Strong executive communication and presentation skills
- Demonstrated success navigating complex buying environments
- Entrepreneurial mindset with comfort operating in fast-moving, evolving organizations
- Strong curiosity and willingness to learn operational aspects of the business
- Strong preference for experience in the transportation/transit/mobility industry
